    Purpose In the present era, digital technology can be used responsibly to provide developed and developing countries with high-quality health-care services to nations. This study aims to explore Saudi Arabia’s intentions to adopt digital health-care practices. Design/methodology/approach To be consistent with previous studies, this study used a quantitative methodology to collect the data from health-care professionals working in Saudi Arabia’s public and private health institutes. Consequently, this study’s findings are based on 306 valid samples. Findings On the one hand, the path analysis reveals that health-care professionals believe in perceptions relating to the use of e-health and technology (PEHT) and experiences regarding internet use (ERIU) and that these have positive and significant effects on attitudes toward the use of e-health and technology (ATEHT) and intentions to use e-health services (ITUES). On the other hand, barriers to using e-health (BUEH) negatively impact ATEHT and ITUES. Finally, ATEHT also has a positive and significant effect on ITUES. Practical implications This study’s findings will help Saudi Arabia’s policymakers and the country’s health ministry to develop policies to provide e-services that health-care professionals can use to improve the quality of the country’s health care, patients’ human rights and social care. Furthermore, this study’s findings are helpful in developing attitudes and intentions toward either e-health or digital health to provide better health facilities to serve Saudi Arabia’s citizens. Originality/value This study empirically confirms among Saudi Arabia’s health-care professionals the PEHT, ERIU and BUEH toward ATEHT and ITUES.

    Purpose: Turnover intention (TOI) has become a severe issue in Saudi Arabia’s health-care system as health professionals leave their organizations. Saudi Arabia’s health-care professionals’ TOI affects the organizations and the patients’ human rights. Therefore, this study aims to assess the factors that affected Saudi Arabia’s health-care professionals’ TOI. Design/methodology/approach: This study based its findings on quantitative cross-sectional data. This study’s respondents were health-care professionals working in Saudi Arabia’s public and private health-care institutions. Findings: By using path analysis, this study’s findings reveal that, on the one hand, job stress (JS), psychological distress (PD) and perceived work exhaustion (PWE) have positive and significant effects on TOI. On the other hand, perceived organizational support (POS) is a positive and significant predictor of TOI. Practical implications: This study’s findings will help the Saudi Arabian Ministry and policymakers develop policies to encourage health professionals’ perseverance through reducing their JS, PD and PWE and by enhancing POS for health-care staff. Moreover, by controlling the increasing turnover ratio among Saudi Arabia’s health-care professionals, this study’s findings assist in overcoming the violations of human rights. Originality/value: This study’s findings empirically confirm the development of TOI through JS, PD and PWE among Saudi Arabia’s health-care professionals.

    Purpose: In this era, the knowledge economy is a significant tool in tackling issues of organizations’ sustainability and achieving sustainable development goals. In this study of Saudi Arabia’s small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the authors explored the effect of green knowledge management (GKM) practices on green innovation (GI) through adopting a green culture (GC) and green entrepreneurial self-efficacy (GESE). Design/methodology/approach: In this co-relational study, the authors used cross-sectional data from Saudi Arabia’s top SME managers and based the findings on 368 valid samples. Findings: Using structural equation modeling, this study’s findings demonstrate that GKM constructs, such as green knowledge acquisition (GKA), green knowledge dissemination (GKD) and green knowledge responsiveness (GKR), have a positive and significant effect on GI. Moreover, GI positively and significantly affects GC and GESE. Finally, GC and GESE mediate GKA’s, GKD’s and GKR’s relationships with GI. Practical implications: The study’s findings assist in tackling environmental sustainability challenges and help achieve sustainable development goals. These also strengthen organizational capabilities to achieve GI. Accordingly, the authors recommend that policymakers and planners develop a wide range of GKM settings for organizations, businesses, communities and governments to tackle the issues of GI and GC. Originality/value: This study empirically fills the gaps by demonstrating the role of GC and GESE in developing the connection between GKM practices and GI and, more specifically, Saudi Arabia’s SMEs.
